Important Arrests Made By the
fOiice-An Injured Innocent.
For several months past gang OF
negroes have been systematically and
stealthily reducing the stock Of q few
Front street firms. So far az known.
Mesers. Hill, Fontains & Go. have
suffered most heavily by the depreds-
tons. On account Of the large stock
carried, and the fact that the thievirg
operations have extended through Q
long period, the firm has not missed
the goods.
An important hsul Of the rtc,ls
was made yesterday, and one which,
II not the entire nest, will doubtless
brighten them into inactivity for Q
time. "Blue" Smith and Ell Thorn

O'Haver and Detectives Pryde and
Armstrong. The case was we'll

before any move was made for the men.
Several boxes Of tobacco and cigars
were recovered, some Of which have
the mark Of Hill, Fontaine & 90.
Thtss had been sod by the two
negroes to Martin Hooker, white, who
kept grocery at the corner Of Geor.
gia and LsRose streets. Since their
purchase, he hes sbar doned the gro
Gerry business, and now runs a saloon
on MtCall street., next to Squire
Hughey's cffice. Here 1t was that the
tobacco and cigars were found.
Five boxes Of the latter have
TIE brand marx, "Big Fly"

known for early crops or are easily
brought into bearing, while Tyson,
Dix and some others are always tardy.
We have made some observations in
this line, and have been led to believe
that there is a property in the iron that
is utilized by the pear-tree for its bene-
fit. A blacksmith near our home farm
put his shop floor sweepings around
some pear-trees in his home lot one
fall, and the next season marked
change was noticeable. The trees put
forth vigorously in the spring, made
much increased growth, and bore
abundantly of large, delicious fruit
The sweepngs of the shop floor were
made up of iron scales, filings, drill
ings and spark particles mixed with
horse manure, and half bushel, at
least, of this compound was put over
the roots of each tree. The increased
growth that was produced could not
have been attributed to the manure,
for the application of that alone would
not have produced any such remarkable
result. 1t will be well for those who
have access to an iron foundry or
blacksmith shop to test this matter
further and give the benefit of their
experience to the public through the
agricultural press.-F'armers' Home

Sire Controlling Form and Quality.

" Ridley says that he has no reason
to believe that the blood of the fetus
and that of the mother commingle or
blend together Now, l ask, How can
this be so, when we consider the fact
that after jack is used for the purpose
of obtaining the mule that the dam S
next produce will show the long ears
and mulish tail or limbs, although a
good blooded horse may be used? Again,
if Southdown buck is used among our
sheep whence come those black legs or
smut-faces long after change of bucks?
Also in the swine we notice those, to
us, unmistakable evidences of the COM
mingling of the blood of sire and dam.
Considering these to be facts, it is of
vital importance that breeders should
show more willingness to compensate
those who aim to introduce higher
grades of excellence in our horses and
other domestic animals. Let us not
only have the ideas, but the experience,
of g Ridley" and others.-Cor. Mirror

Sound Sense.

Some of the alleged champions of the
farmers who hope to secure their goodwill
by obsequious tlattery or dolefully bemoan-
ing their hard lot, often allude to the many
enemies and robbers of the agricultural
class. Such talk is misleading. Mankind
is somewhat selfish, and the natural i'm
pulse of each one to sell for the highest pos
sible price and to buy for the lowest often
puts the buyer and seller in temporary op-
position, like two contending lawyers in
court. But that does not make them
enemies or prayers upon each other 1t is
good business sagacity for farmers to com
bine in order to get the strength that comes
from union for meeting the business COM
petition of the world but such organiza-
tions do not partake of the nature of theft
protective societies, or of associations of
mice to bell their natural enemy, the cat
1t is untrue and unjust to make out that
farmers are the butt of the whole universe
for pillage and persecution. They are the
peers of any class, respected by all, de-
sirous of selling their products for as high
a price as they will bear and of buying
their supplies at the lowest possible figures
Farmers, merchants, manufacturers, rail
road managers and professional men all
have the same common native instincts.
We would commend this bit of wis
dom from the Ne,o England Farn,er to
some of the "alleged champions of the
farmers in the latitude and longitude
of Vermont, for which locality it seems
eminently fitted. We heartily endorse
the sentiments here expressed, and be-
lieve it is about as poor business as a
man or a newspaper can be in to be
stirring up strife, breeding discomfort
and setting one class against another;
and usually it is the work of dem
agogues who hope, from the rumpus
they are trying to kick up, to gain some
personal benefit.
